The Unsung Hero Award

The Unsung Hero Award is FOC's way of acknowledging long and selfless service to the club.

A member who commits their time and expertise to FOC might not be recognised widely for their contribution at the time, perhaps because such efforts are given so modestly, and often over a considerable period of time. Without their generosity, though, an absence would soon be felt.

FOC proudly celebrates exceptional service and dedication by such members with this prestigious annual award.

Nominations

The Committee accepts nominations by email to the Chairman at any time. The Committee votes for a member who is deserving of this award once a year.

Presentation of the Unsung Hero Award

An officer of the club presents the Unsung Hero Award at the AGM and Annual Dinner. The winner is announced on the night.
